Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by the London Borough of Southwark Pension Fund to conduct an archaeological watching brief at 9 - 11 High Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 9JX, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 448330 129383. The watching brief formed part of the archaeological mitigation required as a planning condition for the redevelopment of the former Next store. The first planning application (16/01646/FUL) was granted in 2016 ahead of a second application being submitted. Planning Consent (17/03178/FUL) was granted on 12th April 2018 for the demolition and replacement of the existing facades on both the High Street and Market Lane frontages. It includes a change of use of the first and second floor retail and roof void areas into a 62 bedroom hotel. This watching brief is the final stage of archaeological mitigation and follows on from an archaeological assessment and two pervious phases of watching brief. This phase of watching brief monitored the pre-augering of 15 new pile holes, the deepening of the lift pit, initially excavated during the phase 2 watching brief and the excavation of new utility trenches. No archaeologically significant deposits were detected during the pre-augering works. It was agreed with the Archaeologist to the Historic Environment Team for Winchester City Council (who monitored the works) that once services were to remain wholly within existing service ducts that the requirement for archaeological monitoring could cease. The service trench excavations were limited and shallow (< 1.20 m - 0.40 m), and remained within modern ground. The deepening of Trench 9 recorded a compacted chalk level (also recorded in Phase 2 in Trench 11) which is likely to be modern in origin, overlying an undated soil deposit. Excavations ceased at 1.46 m and no archaeological features or deposits were noted. The watching brief was carried out in a number of stages between 10th August 2018 and 12th February 2019. |
